SAILING AROUND THE WORLD WITH SPIRIT OF ARGO

BVIs-Great Camanoe Island (Lee Bay), Guana Island (White Bay) and Virgin Gorda Island (Gorda Sound)

All the anchorages in the British Virgin Islands are a quick ‘hop’ away.

We decided to try to take our company to another island.

GREAT CAMANOE ISLAND – LEE BAY

Great Camonoe-sailing

Although they are not into ‘sailing’, the short trip to Lee Bay was pleasant.

Great Camonoe-anchored

The sallow sand of the bay meant 4 tries to get the anchor set, but it was worth it was a lovely calm anchorage.

Great Camanoe-Cam Bay

A short walk from Lee Bay, past a salt pond, and you get to Cam Bay on the windward side of the Island.

Great Camanoe-sunset

A great place for sunsets into the surrounding islands.

 

GUANA ISLAND – WHITE BAY

Guana Island-sail 1

They survived the last sail, so we decided to move them again.

This time to the picture postcard beach of White Bay.

We relaxed on the beach and amused ourselves with the diving antics of the local penguins.

Guana Island-sundowner

Another great bay for sunsets.

 

VIRGIN GORDA ISLAND – GORDA SOUND

As they fared so well on the short sails, we decided to try to take them a little further afield.  Across the Sir Frances Drake Channel to the island of Virgin Gorda.

Virgin Gorda-boys relaxed

Virgin Gorda-longer sail

It was a little bit of a ‘beat to wind’, but they did very well on the crossing.

Virgin Gorda-Mum tense

Virgin Gorda-Saba Rock

As a reward for surviving the crossing we took them to the famous tiny resort island of Saba Rock for their ‘happy hour’ sundowners.

They look much happier now

Virgin Gorda Sound
Virgin Gorda Sound is surrounded by land and reefs affording it many sheltered anchorages
Virgin Gorda Sound beach
Their are lots of Marinas, restaurants and shops to visit in and around the Sound. But most important to me…..there are some lovely beaches.

Luckily I talked the humans into anchoring off of this one

With only half their holiday time used up, what will they get up to next?
